[QUOTE="Go_Ordnance, post: 1139923, member: 7266"] As a fellow "non-1911" guy, I know where you're coming from. I did buy a GSR though, and it's been flawless. I did a lot of research before I bought one though, and my interpretation of internet opinions and myths are: - The first generation had problems. They outsourced the all the parts and assembled them in house. Biggest issue was frame pins not in the right location, making repair or upgrade labor intensive. - Second generation were the best. Problems worked out, and no MIM parts. Not clear how many parts outsourced vs built in house. - Third (current) generation reliable and accurate, but MIM on controls (grip safety, slide stop, thumb safety, etc...). Reportedly built in house. No idea how to figure out which generation a particular gun it. Each box will have a sticker with a date. Get that info, and research from there. Sigforum is probably a good place to start. [/QUOTE]
